The North American PlayStation Store update has been delayed by extended PlayStation Network maintenance. Sony has been unable to provide an ETA on when the downtime will end and the update will go live. We’re not certain what’s being added in this week’s update beyond a couple of new releases and some PlayStation Plus goodies.

Sony has revised its PlayStation Network maintenance plans. The downtime is now scheduled for 5:00AM PT on March 4, and is expected to last until 9:00PM – 17 hours. Previous announcements suggested a similar window, but kicking off much later in the day. As usual, the PlayStation Store and account management features will be offline, […]

Sony has advised it will be conducting maintenance on the North American PlayStation Network from 1:00AM PST Tuesday February 26. The eight hour maintenance window will affect eight first-party titles, with each expected to be offline for about an hour.

Today’s scheduled 12 hour maintenance window for the PlayStation Network has been extended, Sony has announced via Twitter. The announcement mentions the downtime has been extended “to tomorrow morning”, and as it was supposed to end at 8:00 PM PT, that suggests we’re looking at an additional four hours at the very least. Updates are […]

PlyStation Australia has announced the PlayStation Network will be down for scheduled maintenance later this week. The outage is expected to last 12 hours, from 3:00AM AEST on Friday, January 18. The outage will apparently affect all territories, with the US PlayStation Blog confirming the timing. The PlayStation Store and Account Management will be offline, […]

After last week’s European downtime, the US arm of the PlayStation Network is also taking a Thursday night break for regular maintenance. Somewhat unusually, you will still be able to sign into the PSN during the “downtime”, but only if you’ve used your PSN ID over the last few days – so maybe check in […]

The European PlayStation Network (that includes Australia and New Zealand) is going down for scheduled maintenance from 4:00PM BST July 26 to 8:00AM BST July 27. As usual, the outage will close the PS Store, account management and registration, but if you’re signed in when the window starts you may be able to continue online […]

Sony has updated the PlayStation Network forum to say, “The unplanned maintenance is now complete so if anyone is still having issues then please let me know.” An earlier Tweet from Sony confirmed that all services had been restored.

A moderator post on the European PlayStation forums – and comments from many relieved users – indicates an error which blocked downloads and transaction lists of paid content has been resolved. The problem struck in the wake of last week’s maintenance and was not universal, but affected most PAL territories, hitting PS Plus users particularly […]

Although Sony is unable to commit to a timeframe in resolving ongoing issues with downloading paid content from the PlayStation Network, moderator comments suggest a fix is expected before the weekly PlayStation Store update.

“Great experience, really good time. Though I wouldn’t like to do it again. A determined hacker will get you, the question is how you build your life so you’re able to cope with those things.” - Tim Schaaff, president of network entertainment at Sony, showing good humour while speaking to GamesBeat of the mid-April PSN outage.

SEGA’s executive vice president of marketing, Alan Pritchard, has said that despite the recent PSN outage due to security reasons, SEGA still has a good relationship with Sony and it plans to keep it that way.
